The legendary Elvis Presley wisely stated, “Sad thing is, you can still love someone and be wrong for them.” This adage perfectly portrays the plot of the rock and roll musical All Shook Up, inspired by the legendary songs of Elvis Presley® such as Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender, Don’t Be Cruel, Can’t Help Falling in Love, and, of course, the title tune, All Shook Up.

Secret crushes and fiery passion are awakened in a small town when a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger arrives to spread the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley® with the book by Joe DiPietro, All Shook Up runs at the DeWitt Theatre (141 E. 12th Street) at 8:00 pm on June 21, 22, 28, July 10, 11, 17, 22, 25, 30, and August 2, 7, 10.
